Favorite Health Blogs of 2011

Happy 2012! Before setting my sights to the new year, I'd like to take a quick look back at my favorite blogs of 2011. The blogosphere is a crowded place and it is necessary to exercise caution when taking advice from health-related blogs. Here are some blogs that rose above the rest in my opinion (and in no particular order): 1. Mayo Clinic's "Nutrition-wise Blog" I mean, the Mayo Clinic rocks. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/MY00431/TAB=expertblog 2. Nutrition Blog Network This blog intends to help consumers mine through the vast numbers of nutrition blogs out there by picking out some of the most interesting posts - it's maintained by registered dietitians. 3. Fit to Eat This blog is by Christine Rosenbloom, a professor emerita of nutrition at Georgia State. She didn't post as frequently as I'd like in the latter part of 2012 but everything she posts is of high quality. Here's hoping she posts more in 2012! 4. Stuft Mama Family Fitness Blog Disclaimer: I am friends with this blogger, Kristin Stehly, who is the owner of Stuft Fitness and an all-around amazing athlete. She has run marathons while pushing her twins in a double stroller, people! Her blog has great info about her own food favorites, workout tips and heart-warming personal experience anecdotes. http://stuftmama.com/ Happy New Year, everyone! Here is to a fantastic 2012 full of food, family, friends, fitness and fun.
